Abstract: The present invention provides a method for the detection and sorting of microparticles in a mixture of microparticles. The method of the present invention allows for the detection and sorting of many distinct microparticle classes. Detection and sorting is on the basis of microparticle size, the fluorescence spectrum of any attached reporter molecule, the fluorescence intensity of the reporter molecule, and the number of particles in each classification bin. These microparticle classes have particular applications in many genetic or biochemical multiplexing studies and especially as binding agents for the detection of aneuploidy in an organism or embryo of the organism. In humans, the detection and sorting of at least 24 classes of microparticles would be sufficient for a single tube method for the simultaneous detection of aneuploidy in all chromosomes, wherein each distinct microparticle class comprises a polynucleotide sequence complementary to, and specific for, a polynucleotide sequence that is unique to a particular human chromosome. Furthermore, using currently available technology, the present method has application for the simultaneous detection of aneuploidy in all chromosomes for an organism that has 216 or fewer pairs of chromosomes. Kits for the simultaneous detection of aneuploidy in one or more human chromosomes are also provided.

Abstract: Drift compensation systems and methods are presented for compensating the drift of a sensor within a manufacturing lot. The system comprises a sensor test sample manufactured from a lot of material having substantially similar chemical or metallurgical properties, a drift characterization tester, wherein the test sample is exposed to a predetermined thermal environment. Measurements of the test sample output are analyzed to provide a drift function describing the relationship between time and temperature from the thermal exposure measurements of the test sample in the drift characterization tester. Parameters associated with the drift function and the sensor test sample are stored in a memory storage component associated with a second sensor. The second sensor is manufactured from the same lot of material as the sensor test sample. A sensor system is manufactured comprising the second sensor and the memory storage component. A drift compensation instrument coupleable to the second sensor and the memory storage component of the sensor system is operable to retrieve the stored parameters of the drift function from the memory storage component and correct the output of the second sensor based on the drift function, thereby compensating the output drift of the sensors manufactured from the same lot of material.
